LIGHT
Science: 2nd Secondary Education
PROPERTIES OF LIGHT:
-Speed of light: Light travels in a straight line and in waves. It does not require
a medium.
The speed depends on the medium. In a vacuum and in the air it is about
300,000 km/sec.
-Reflection of light: When a ray of light hits the surface, it bounces off, and
changes its direction. The incident ray hits the surface. The reflected ray
bounces off the surface. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
reflection.
-Refraction occurs when light passes into a new material with different density
and starts to move at a different speed.
